The Turtle group shot looks good to me, Raph is bigger but not too big, at least from what I can tell. Seeing them in a group like that makes me think their dynamic can work.

As for Baron Draxum...meh. I wouldn't care if he was just a random recurring villain, but the way he's promoted makes him seem like he'll be the main villain for at least most of Season 1. Do they really have much faith in this character that they think he can carry the season, over Shredder who will probably come later? At the least it confirms he uses mutagen and not magic.

I agree about the new group shot; it looks good

We know Draxum uses mutagen, but we don't yet know if it's magical in origin or not

Overall, everything about Baron Draxum (name and design for example) really gives me a Lord Dregg vibe, right down to having an insect army.

I'll take it, being a fan of Lord Dregg, but I'm not sure how others here feel about it.

Raph is definitely large! Raph in size comparison with the others is bigger than I thought he would be.

He is the total size of the other three combined. From the left shoulder of Leo to the right shoulder of Don. That’s a big dude! And April is easily able to sit on him. And his legs compared to the others, dang.

Now I’m not saying any of that is good or bad. Just an observation/thought.

Technodrome Moderator: Because he’s the hero Technodrome Forums deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight.

Draxum looks like a typical animated villain from modern TV show. What's with his face? Or is it a mask? It looks stupid anyway. Makes him look like he is constantly surprised or shocked. ?

What do you mean modern, he looks like a character who belongs in an 80s cartoon like He-man, Voltron and Thundercats.

OT, so far I'm not feeling his design it feels so out of place in a TMNT show. He looks too clean and regal for my liking and I personally don't care for the "Baron" since it feels too European. Now you can also make an argument that the writers want to create a villain who wants to stand out from the other rogues in the past and sure he does stand out in a way but so far I'm lukewarm on the design.

Baron Draxum looks like he belongs in Ben 10. He's like the long lost brother of Vilgax.

First thing my son said when he say the toy 'He looks like Vilgax'
He looks ok, someone else already asked if that was a mask, I wondered the same.

Group shot.... Raph does look a lot bigger but still hard to tell how much from a pose, if he is going to have a tendency to bully then I don't like the physical advantage that goes with that, but guess we have to see what they will do with him.

Not a fan of the eyebrows that Don apparently drew on his mask with a sharpie.

Guys I don't know what to say, this looks all sorts of weird. TMNT in names only. Won't little kids wonder why the turtles they used to watch got completely changed, in appearance, personality and voice? Nick had created a mythology for them already and I'm sad to lose that.
